Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Be content. Know that whatever comes along, you can handle it and grow from it.

It's the things that we know FOR SURE, that just ain't so, that get us into trouble.

Meditation gives you an opportunity to come to know your invisible self. It allows you to empty yourself of the endless hyperactivity of your mind, and to attain calmness. It teaches you to be peaceful, to remove stress, to receive answers where confusion previously reigned.

I used to think that you could find peace and it would always be there. And there is a sense of that. But even in the worst moments, catch yourself and remember that within the storm of misfortune there is good fortune. Just get in practice with what they call in Taoism the Wu-wei; the non-action and becoming the observer of it. Just notice and stay at peace with it. I must have admit, that I still have those really disrupting moments.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.
